Qu'est-ce que le Conseil génétique?

Genetic counseling is an important service for individuals facing a rare disease diagnosis. Conseil Ginitique is a must before anyone begins a genetic testing journey, and it provides key information, education, and support for patients and their families.

Test génétique involves any number of different tests to identify specific gene mutations or chromosomal changes, that might make a person a carrier for a genetic syndrome, or someone who is at high risk for developing a syndrome. 

Conseil ginitique et les tests ont, pour la plupart, toujours été effectués par le biais de rendez-vous et de visites en personne.

Conseil ginitique et tester près de chez moi : les défis

Lorsqu'il s'agit de rechercher des options de génétique et de conseil près de chez vous, vous pouvez rencontrer l'un des défis suivants :

There are no genetic counseling and testing services in your area. This is an issue specifically in rural, and remote areas, but even in smaller cities or urban centres, genetic counselors can be difficult to find.

There are no specialized genetic counseling and testing services in your area. Sometimes, depending on the rare disease diagnosis faced, you may need a specific type of genetic counseling and testing- perhaps for pediatric genetics, or genetics related to a cancer diagnosis, or a counselor who has experience with a specific rare disease. With just 12% of genetic counselors, in the US, specializing in pediatric genetics for example, these specialists can be hard to find at all, let alone close to you. 

Genetic counseling services in your area have long wait lists, and wait times for an appointment. This is a very real problem, as genetic testing options and awareness around rare diseases grows, placing pressure on crucial counseling services, and making them even more difficult to access.

You will have to travel long distances to access genetic counseling and testing services. This can be time consuming, and expensive, and involve juggling multiple family schedules to make it work. This creates a large amount of stress for everyone involved. 

You may have a long wait to access genetic counseling and testing services. This wait can be very frustrating, especially if you are also having to manage the symptoms of a rare disease, without a confirmed diagnosis. Unfortunately long diagnostic times are still much too common when it comes to receiving a genetic diagnosis, and this can have a very detrimental impact on the lives of those with a possible rare disease, and their families too.

You may be faced with the possibility of yet another misdiagnosis. When access to key genetic services is limited, the chances of receiving an accurate diagnosis rise exponentially. Even just a delayed diagnosis can have a tremendous impact on the daily lives of a rare disease individual and their caregivers. An accurate, fast diagnosis is crucial in improving the lives of those with a genetic syndrome, in order to ensure they receive the right support, and possible treatment options as quickly as possible. We know that early intervention is key to improving the lives of individuals affected by a rare disease, and delivering this means quick access to genetic counseling and testing services.
